<holidays>

what is holidays? yummy..student must be very happy to hear that words. its because holiday is fun. in indonesia we got a lot of holiday time. but it is quite different with in american where the holiday is mostly taken in summer. in indonesia, we have a lot holiday spread in all month. on august we have independence day. on january we have new year holiday, in december we have cristmas holiday. and once a year we have holiday to celebrate idl fitri. holiday in indonesia is very nice since we dont go to school and we can travel a lot. ussually during holiday time, i with my friend organize a travel to some interesting place. i have visit a lot of destination there in indonesia.
nowadays, actually i am also in holidays time. my college are still in the middle of second semester and are about to start the next semester in august. therefore i am in holiday right now. however, i studied intensif english during holiday to enhance my english skill.
otherwise, if am not attending this session, i will get some part time job to raise money for my self. it is happy if we could raise some money for our own. we can buy nice stuff, can arrange a lot of traveling. eating at the ekslusif restaurant, and many more.
holidays is alwasy an interesting thing even for adult. because they can make some rest after work or office hour that can be very boring. but for some people, holiday mean more working hour. its happen to whom work in the recreational area, in the restaurant or at the mall. so that, although its holiday, the same condition should not apply to each parties. for some, holiday is gift because they can take rest. but still some group of people may think that holiday mean more job, more work to do. so that they get busy.
talking about independence day in america, i think it will be very nice because i also experience in my country when we welcome independent day. there will be much performance. many kind of performance by many organization. since it is my first time visit US, i think i will not miss this opportunity to see by my self what kind of performance are there in america during their independence day.
holiday, holiday, holiday..most of people will love it. but hey, it also cost much money :D
so that,
